Kataomi` summed up the first day of competition at The International 2026 for BoomBoys
BetBoom Team support player Vladislav “Kataomi`” Semenov posted a comment on the team’s Telegram channel, summarizing the first day of competition at The International 2026 for the team.
All in all, the day can be considered a success. We finished with a 2-0 record. The matches against OG were fairly easy; our opponents didn’t put up much of a fight. It was tougher against Iron Wings (1w Team)—there were a lot of misplays on both sides. So, as they say, whoever made fewer mistakes won. That’s it—we’re still feeling positive and mentally prepared for a 4-0 run into the playoffs.
[So, tell us about your first impressions of the Chinese Int, how’s the hotel, how’s everything in general?]
Man, I haven’t really felt it yet—I’ll get a much better sense of it once I’m at the arena. But so far, the hotel is top-notch—the food’s delicious, the rooms are great, it’s a five-star-plus hotel—it’s just awesome. Can’t wait to get to the arena.
Earlier, PARIVISION carry Alan “Satanic” Galliamov named his favorite heroes in the current meta during an interview at The International 2026: “I like playing Sven. If I can pull off Lifestealer, I like that too. And Morphling, too.”
